In early September, Rome's famous Trevi Fountain was illuminated with new energy-efficient lights, marking the completion of its restoration project.
Following approval from Rome's mayor, Virginia Raggi, a total of 100 LED lights were installed at the Trevi Fountain. The new lights include 90 installed beneath the fountain's emerald green water and the remaining 10 located opposite the fountain and behind the statue of Oceanus. It is hoped that these new energy-efficient lights will significantly reduce the monument's energy consumption.
As one of the oldest and most fascinating cities in the world, Rome (Italy) is famous for its ancient architecture and monuments, especially from the Renaissance period. And no trip to Rome is complete without a visit to the Trevi Fountain – the largest fountain in the city and one of the most beautiful symbols of Baroque architecture in the world.
The Trevi Fountain, located in Trevi Square, was designed by the Roman architect Nicola Salvi in 1732 and completed in 1762.
The name Trevi originates fromTre Vie(Three streets) because this fountain is located at the intersection of three streets: Via De' Crocicchi, Via Poli, and Via Delle Muratte. With a height of 26 m and a width of nearly 20 m, a large pool in the center, and numerous water jets surrounding it, the Trevi Fountain consumes nearly 80,000 m³ of water.3Drink water every day.
Tourists often come here to toss coins over their shoulders and let them fall into the water for good luck. Every day, the city collects the coins from the fountain to ensure they are not stolen, as taking money from the fountain is illegal. The money is used to build a supermarket and carry out social projects to help the needy in Rome. Approximately 3,000 euros (76 million VND) are collected daily.
